Theros block has released a slew of creatures that grind the game down, along with the most powerful removal in white. These releases along with some old friends have allowed for Death and Taxes style decks to begin showing up in standard.
Card Choices:Soldier of the Pantheon is a solid one drop that avoids Detention Sphere, Abrupt Decay, and the new scary gods along with some other powerhouses.
Spirit of the Labyrinth a 3/1 for 2 mana is already fantastic, but its ability to shut down your opponents' extra card draw just makes it even better. It ruins Underworld Connections and the plans of almost every control deck, so long as it can stay on the field.
Aegis of the Gods destroys a burn deck's day and hurts quite a bit of others like Thoughtseize. Hexproofing myself is just a great thing.
Imposing Sovereign lets all of my little guys get through to the opponent a little faster by keeping their potential blockers down. It also hurts Rakdos Aggros' need for haste.
Lyev Skyknight
another 3/1, but with flying! He can stall an opponent's biggest creatures for a turn, which just may be their downfall.
Banisher Priest
is a versatile removal spell who can hit for a few damage, which is nice.
Eidolon of Rhetoric makes sure nobody is going to flood the field in one turn. For an uncommon, the Eidolon is pretty insane.
Dryad Militant a sideboard card mostly for dealing with decks using Deathrite Shaman or for control decks so they don't get back all of their card draw whenever they crack and Elixir of Immortality.
Banishing Light is magnificent removal of most anything. While not as incredibly powerful as its brother Detention Sphere, it does serve the purpose quite well.
Reprisal
gets rid of the biggest threats that aren't indestructible or hexproof. Getting rid of a Desecration Demon or an
Arbor Colossus
for 2 mana and not playing black is no joke.
Godsend is the big finisher that also serves as removal and a good bargaining tool. It wins a lot of games.
Detention Sphere eliminates all of those pesky little pack rats or any other such garbage almost permanently. Nobody uses enough enchantment removal to keep them off forever.
